Has anyone experienced really slow healing from their chest tube sites? I’m 6 weeks post-op, and 4 weeks home from the hospital - where I had 2 chest tubes. One of the tube sites is healing well but the other is still open and the scab “falls off” every time I shower.

Going in tomorrow for wound debridement under general anesthesia and wondering if anyone else has gone through this?

Seems like a pretty straight forward procedure, as it was offered that I could do it awake (but that it would be really painful) lol. Any in sight or advice for healing is appreciated!
